I am so blessed to be surrounded my amazingly talented people, and more so that I get to call them friends. One such lady was my inspiration for my Valentine project over at Wood You Like to Craft this month.

She created these
amazing wood signs for Christmas…

…that lead to similar
ones for Valentine’s…

…that lead me to my
project!

True to me, I went
big--something for the front porch. I used a side board from am armour that had
seen better days as the base and cut the x’s and o’s from 1/8th inch
mdf. Painted the board and x’s and then
used flannel to roll and roll and roll enough rosettes to cover the o’s. It was
great, mindless crafting while watching late night tv. Then just glued it all
into place on the board and done!

Don’t you just love
having inspirational friends? I sure do! They surround me at home and here
online…hugs and
kisses to you all!

I love
taking pictures, I just can't always seem to get what I want in my head to come
out in the picture. So I cheat. I use a photo editing site. And I love it.

I love it
because it's easy to use (because I am also quite technically challenged) and
because it's free!

I love
what it does for my pictures...

before…

…after.

And I love
that I can do more than just edit pictures...

You can
make printables for your home (poster sized 16 x 20!)…

…handouts for
church…

…invites
and more!

I use it
all the time, and no, I have never bothered to pay for the upgraded Royale
features because I am completely happy with what I can do for free. But, that
doesn't mean I haven't wanted to give it a try...and now we both can. For FREE!

Use the
link below and you'll get access to it all, basic and royale features for one
day. Create and edit as much as you can in a 24 hour setting. But I don't get
to play unless you do, so please, give it a try, you just might become a monkey
fan yourself!
